During the NBA All Star game in February, Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat shattered Kobe Bryant’s nose with a hard foul. As a result, the Los Angeles Lakers’ star was forced to wear a clear plastic protective mask over his face for the next 11 games.

Thankfully done with the protective device, Bryant decided to auction it off to raise money for Los Angeles area homeless charities. But “Black Mamba” did a curious thing before the auction began– he undercut the item’s value by joking that we were going to “see if anybody’s dumb enough to buy that sweaty mask.”

With loud chants of "Beat L.A.!" pouring out from the soldout crowd at the New Orleans Arena, the Hornets couldn't hold on to their 4th quarter lead. In the end, the Lakers slipped out of New Orleans with a 93-91 win. Key players were out for both teams, including...

For the second straight game, the New Orleans Hornets had only 8 healthy players in uniform. It was almost enough Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles, but the Lakers managed to sqeak by the scrappy Hornets 88-85. Kobe Bryant shot a paltry 3-21 from the field, missing his first 15 shots. Jason Smith and Jarrett Jack both had double-doubles in defeat.

The Los Angeles Lakers slipped by the New Orleans Hornets in overtime Wednesday night by the score of 107-101. Hornets point guard Jarrett Jack scored 30 points in a losing effort. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 33.

Forbes magazine has released its annual list of the value of every NBA team. With giant television deals and a new collective bargaining agreement, the average value of all NBA franchises has increased by 6.5% in the last year. The NBA owned New Orleans Hornets saw it's net worth grow as well, and currently ranks higher than 5 other franchises. Who reigns as the most valuable?
